Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the designated caller number to call Sponsor’s Sweepstakes Line and successfully complete a match in the Game, as solely determined by Sponsor, will be designated a potential winner (each, a “Winner”). A maximum of two (2) Winners will be selected each weekday[CL1] . There will be a maximum of fifteen (15) Winners.
